Exhibit 12.1
STATEMENT OF COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS (LOSS) TO FIXED CHARGES

charges less the preference securities dividend requirement of consolidated subsidiaries. Fixed charges include, as applicable, interest
expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, the estimated interest component of rent expense (calculated as one-third of net rent
ex
